Suede Quotes:
I don't know whether we really captured that in the studio and we had various members of the band feeling slightly disillusioned with the recording. I thought some of the stuff we did was great and some of it was pretty awful. And there was some stuff in-between. I don't think it was coherent body of work really and we had to ditch it otherwise we'd have had to piece it together with gaffer tape.
-Alex Lee


Records are never easy to make. You see these things on TV where some kid walks in and they sing on a record and it magically appears - it's not like that for most bands. You put a lot of brain strain in, a lot of sweat and banging you head against a brick wall. It's really tough. You want to make something that you feel really explores where the bands at at the moment.
